Abstract

Significance: It is widely presumed that there is a relationship between sleep and the gut microbiome because both sleep restriction and dysbiosis of the gut microbiome are associated with metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Here, we report sleep restriction over several consecutive days does not overtly influence the composition of the microbiome of either rats or humans, despite both species showing other changes associated with sleep loss. These analyses suggest that sleep loss and microbial dysbiosis have independent effects on the development of metabolic diseases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
